Been having a blast living car-free with my Jones SWB, embracing the low-tire-pressure lifestyle. Also, hello lemmy / fedi bikers!

how big is the tire and how low do you go with the pressure? how much do you weigh? don't you have issues with pinch flats riding thusly?
Tire is 2.8" and I'm about 65 kg, not sure how low I go on pressure since I don't have a gauge but people routinely go below 10 psi on soft trails.
Pinch flats can happen but it's harder with bigger tires since there's a longer travel distance before the pinch. And most people set up tubeless to avoid pinch flats entirely.
